Romania entered the First World War in August 1916, and the timing of this issue is inseparable from that decision. The Banca Națională had been preparing for the financial pressures of mobilization, and small-denomination paper replaced coin as silver and copper were hoarded or diverted. Over twelve million printed, yet surviving examples in any usable condition are genuinely uncommon — wartime small notes circulated hard and were rarely saved.
Costin Petrescu is better remembered today as a muralist, which makes his appearance on a banknote commission slightly unusual for the period.
